The Salsali Private Museum [SPM], in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, was one of the first private museums in the region for contemporary Middle Eastern and international art. It was founded in November 2011 by Ramin Salsali and was located in the industrial area of Al Quoz on Alserkal Avenue, a complex known in the region for its concentration of galleries and creative spaces.

Exhibitions at SPM featured artworks from the Salsali collection and exhibits from across the globe. SPM served as an independent center for art collectors.

The museum was permanently closed in March 2019^[1]

Ramin Salsali began collecting art at the age of 21. Born in Tehran in 1964, he studied economics, strategic management, and marketing with a focus on industry design in Germany and England.

In April 2011, Salsali established the museum in Dubai. SPM opened in November 2011 as the first private museum for contemporary art in the region. It exhibits Salsali's collection of over 900 pieces of painting, photography, video art, sculpture, and installation art.
